Phoenixville Hospital Among
First In Region To Offer New Therapy
For Stroke Prevention For Patients With A-Fib
Phoenixville Hospital is proud to be among the first hospitals in the Philadelphia
region to offer patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) a new stroke prevention
therapy alternative to long-term warfarin medication with the newly approved
WATCHMAN Left Atrial Appendage Closure Implant.
For patients with AF who are considered suitable for warfarin by their physicians but
who have reason to seek a non-drug alternative, the implant is an alternative to reduce
their risk of AF-related stroke. The implant closes off an area of the heart called the left
atrial appendage to keep harmful blood clots from entering the blood stream and
potentially causing a stroke. Over time, patients may be able to stop taking warfarin.
People with atrial fibrillation have a five times greater risk of stroke. Atrial fibrillation
can cause blood to pool and form clots in the left atrial appendage and this is believed
to be the source of the majority of stroke-causing blood clots.2 Blood clots can break
loose and travel in the blood stream to the brain, lungs, and other parts of the body.
Electrophysiologist Vadim Levin, MD is one of the region's most experienced physicians in treating patients with atrial
fibrillation. Dr. Levin was among the first few physicians in the state of Pennsylvania to perform the left atrial appendage closure
implant procedures. "For patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who are seeking an alternative to warfarin, this device offers
a potentially life-changing stroke risk treatment option which could free them from the challenges of long-term warfarin therapy,"
says Levin.
Implanting the device is a one-time procedure that usually lasts about an hour. Following the procedure, patients typically need
to stay in the hospital for 24 hours. FDA-approved in the United States, the device has been implanted in more than 10,000
patients and is approved in more than 70 countries around the world.
To schedule an appointment with Dr. Levin or to learn more about the Watchman implant, call 610-326-8005, extension 184.

Traffic Safety Unit Charged With Diverse Responsibilities
The police department's Traffic Safety Unit
(TSU) is comprised of two officers and a
supervising sergeant. They are assigned an
unmarked SUV as well as a low profile
marked police unit. The unit assumes many
diverse responsibilities, including identifying
safety concerns using accident data, traffic
studies and most importantly responding to
residents' concerns.
Most traffic issues are typically enforced by
equipment that has been certified by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and then
calibrated for accuracy in accordance to state
law. For example, excessive vehicle speed is
typically identified through speed timing
devices such as a Visual Average Speed
Computer & Recorder (VASCAR), Accu-Trak
or Electronic Non-Radar Device (ENRADD)
instrument. In addition, a speed display
trailer is often used to provide approaching
vehicles with their speed. The unit also has a
portable digital message board to heighten
motorist awareness of their driving habits,
roadway conditions and if applicable, travel
speed.
The concerns of our residents are something
routinely investigated by the Traffic Safety
Unit. A complaint may be addressed with
the use of the digital speed trailer, signage,
or other tools when deemed appropriate.
The unit has a portable radar traffic data
recorder that is capable of collecting
information regarding the number of
vehicles, speeds and times of day, which can
assist them with their directed patrols.
Monitoring the township roadways for
problems, missing or damaged street signs
and the handling of abandoned vehicles are
just a few of the daily responsibilities of the
Traffic Safety Unit. In addition, they review
new construction plans
during the initial application
process in order to identify
potential issues and
concerns prior to
development.
Occasionally, specific concerns arise, for
example the return of a significant volume of
traffic on Arcola and Level Roads after the
reopening of the Arcola Bridge. While the
structure was closed for replacement, the
Traffic Safety Unit was involved in the
process of restricting commercial vehicle
traffic (except local deliveries) on Arcola
Road and parts of Level Road. These
restrictions ultimately will serve to improve
the safety of residents and traffic on those
roadways, as well as lessening the negative
impact of heavy
vehicles on the
roadways themselves
by minimizing the
maintenance and
repair costs borne by
the township.

School's Open: Drive With Care
With the conclusion of summer, our kids are
heading back to school. Remember to safely
share the roads with school buses,
pedestrians and bicyclists, and provide
children with the necessary knowledge to
stay safe at school.
PA School Bus Law
Whether children walk, ride their bicycles or
take the bus to school, it is extremely
important that they - and the motorists
around them - take proper safety
precautions.
Tips for Motorists
All passengers should wear a seat belt
and/or an age and size appropriate car
safety seat or booster seat.
Keep an eye out for children walking in the
street, especially where there are no
sidewalks.
Do not text or talk on your cell phone
while driving.
Be alert for children playing and gathering
near bus stops and for those who may dart
into the street without looking for traffic.
Slow down and obey all traffic laws and
speed limits.
Be alert for school zones that have a
reduced speed limit at designated times of
the day.
Watch for school buses. Red flashing lights
and an extended stop arm indicate the
school bus is stopping to load or unload
children. The law requires you to stop.
When backing out of a driveway or leaving
a garage, watch for children walking or
biking to school.
When driving in neighborhoods or school
zones, watch for young people who may
be in a hurry to get to or away from school
and may not be thinking about getting
there safely.
All 50 states have a law making it illegal to
pass a school bus that is stopped to load or
unload children. School buses use yellow
flashing lights to alert motorists that they
are preparing to stop and red flashing
lights with an extended stop sign arm to
signal motorists that the bus is no longer
moving and children are getting on or off
the bus. Every vehicle traveling on an
undivided highway regardless of travel
direction must stop when students are
entering or exiting a school bus. In
addition, vehicles following directly behind
a school bus must stop at least 10 feet
away upon the bus's activation of red
flashing lights and the engagement of a
stop arm. You should never move your
vehicle until the children have reached a
place of safety.
Penalty: If you are convicted of violating
Pennsylvania's School Bus Stopping Law,
you will receive all of the following
penalties:
60-Day driver's license suspension
Five (5) points on your driving record
$250 fine

New Facility Brings Jobs, Rehab Services to Township
Lower Providence Township is excited to
announce the opening of a unique
rehabilitation facility that brings hundreds of
jobs to the Township and offers community
residents the opportunity to recuperate
close to home. Rehab at Shannondell, which
opened in July, provides the orthopedic and
medical rehabilitation services you'd expect
from a quality facility in a decidedly
unexpected resort-style setting.
The new skilled nursing facility is located
within the gated Shannondell community.
Patients recovering from surgery, temporary
illness or a medical condition are supported
by a dedicated staff providing physical,
occupational and speech therapy services.
Cardiac rehab is provided through an
innovative partnership with Cardiology
Consultants of Philadelphia (CCP).
Shannondell offers a resort-like setting and
amenities, including private rooms and
baths, table service dining, large living room
areas and outdoor courtyards. Each floor has
its own therapy center, social and dining
areas, and activity room.
Ross reminds those needing rehab after
surgery or an illness that they have choices.
The distinctive Rehab at Shannondell may be
a convenient option for local residents. He
suggests discussing the possibility with their
physician prior to a medical procedure and
the discharge planner at the hospital after.
With Rehab at Shannondell now serving
therapy and long-term living needs of
patients of all ages, The Meadows will focus
solely on providing personal care and
expanded memory care services. Two
different price points for personal care are
now available, said Ross, including a more
affordable option with the same level of
service.
The new rehab center and the enhanced
Meadows building join the Shannondell
retirement community itself as exceptional
resources for Lower Providence. Benefits for
Township residents include not only the
comprehensive services available, but also a
significant tax contribution and the support
of local businesses.
Together with The Meadows, an existing
personal care building on the campus, Rehab
at Shannondell will employ over 325 fulltime positions. Both facilities are open to the
public, and Rehab at Shannondell will accept
most major insurance plans.
The therapists, clinicians and staff of Rehab
at Shannondell are focused on making sure
patients enjoy their rehab experience while
working toward returning to independent
living. "Our goal is to have patients recover
well and return home stronger," says William
Ross, Chief Operating Officer. A comfortable
environment, he notes, is critical to a
successful recovery. To that end, Rehab at

Yard Maintenance & Stormwater
It's That Time of Year…
Leaves, yard waste and lawn clippings are
collected every Wednesday year-round.
They should be placed out for pickup in
open-top containers or compostable paper
bags. Plastic bags cannot be accepted.
Twigs and small branches should be cut to 3foot lengths and tied in bundles weighing no
more than 50 pounds. J.P. Mascaro & Sons
offers a vacuum leaf collection at additional
cost on Thursday, Nov. 3 and Tuesday, Dec.
20. Due to safety concerns, some major
roadways are excluded. Call 1-800-432-1616
for pricing and details.
rain and bare soil can also run off into streams
and cause sediment pollution. Grass clippings,
and the chemicals on them, wash into storm
drains that empty into streams. Their
decomposition causes a lack of oxygen for fish
and aquatic life.
More information on stormwater management
can be found at the Township website,
www.lowerprovidencetownship/
StormwaterManagement.htm.
Think Twice Before
Planting Bamboo
Bamboo may seem like an attractive garden
option, but it can pose serious problems.
Some bamboo species can be very invasive
and extremely difficult to contain. Bamboo's
hardiness and rapid growth - sprouts can
grow 12 inches in a day can make it a
problematic plant for most yards. Bamboo
can spread underground as quickly as it grows
and it doesn't respect sidewalks, fences or
property lines.
As you maintain your lawn this fall, be sure
you don't accidentally dump grass clippings
and other waste into storm drains. Leaf litter
and yard waste dumped into a stormwater
basin or near a waterway can cause harmful
nutrient accumulation. Leaves swept into
the street can enter storm drains and make
their way into the nearest creek as well.
Excess lawn fertilizer can wash away with the
Should you already
have bamboo on
your property, please
note that it's your
responsibility to
maintain it,
especially if it is
growing near
sidewalks. Under
Township Ordinance,
property owners are
to keep sidewalks
clear of any growth
that could interfere
with travel.
DCNR encourages gardeners to choose
native plants that will help preserve the
state's biodiversity and plant heritage.
Because Pennsylvania's native plants are
meant to grow here, they thrive with less
maintenance and serve as pollinators, attract
wildlife, and reduce other unwanted species.
For a list of native plants, visit
http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/forestry/plants/
nativeplants/.
The Pennsylvania Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR)
lists Golden Bamboo on its "Watch List" as a
species that has the potential to act
aggressively and is not preferred in natural
settings. According to a DCNR fact sheet, this
"running" type of bamboo will often find its
way out of confinement and infest nearby
areas.

Keeping Streets & Sidewalks Safe When It Snows
The Public Works Department is dedicated to
the safety of all of our residents. Snow
removal is a tedious and time-consuming job
and your patience during a snow/ice event is
appreciated. Our crews are responsible for
almost 90 miles of roads within the Township
and they work many hours under very
difficult conditions to keep you safe. Top
priority during a snowstorm is keeping main
roads open.
Here are some important reminders:
It is almost impossible to keep snow
from being deposited at driveways
during plowing, so it's best to wait to
shovel until the Township's finished
plowing. If you do clear your driveway
before the street is completed, put snow
to the right so the plow can push the
snow away from your driveway.
Township ordinance requires that a
pathway on the sidewalk, at least 30
inches wide, be cleared within 48 hours
after it stops snowing and sidewalks
should be covered with salt or similar
materials in the event of ice or sleet.
Please do not shovel or blow snow from
driveways into the street.
Keep your vehicle off the street if you
have off-street parking.
Limit travel unless absolutely necessary.
Please clear the snow away from fire
hydrants.
State and Montgomery County roads
are cleared by their own crews. A list of
these roads and contact information for
PennDOT and the county can be found
below, as well as on the Public Works
page of the website,
lowerprovidence.org.

Mailboxes
Any damages that occur are the
responsibility of the homeowner, unless the
plow truck directly strikes the mailbox. If you
believe this is the case, call Public Works,
610-635-3525, after the storm has subsided,
within 48 hours, and we will evaluate the
damage to determine responsibility.
Hidden Hydrants
Winter storms can often hide fire hydrants
under mounds of snow. Firefighters can lose
precious time trying to locate and shovel out
a hydrant before hooking up a hose. Please
consider clearing the area around any
hydrants close to your residence or business.
A 3-foot path on all sides will make it easier
to locate and operate the hydrants in an
emergency. Thank you!
You need to know! - It is the law in
Pennsylvania to make sure vehicles are
completely clear of snow and ice. Also,
headlights must be turned on if your
windshield wipers are in use.

When to Call 911
Do you know when to call 911?
Seems like a simple question, but there can
be confusion. The National Emergency
Number Association defines true
emergencies and gives additional tips
on 911 use online at
www.nena.org/?page=911TipsGuidelines.
The Lower Providence Fire Department has
experienced a rising number of calls to
Department numbers that are either
reporting emergencies or trying to
determine whether a situation is an
emergency. There seems to be a reluctance
to call 911. As explained in the NENA
document, if you are unsure if a situation
requires emergency services, call 911 and let
the 911 call taker decide if your situation
requires an emergency response.
are included provided they are built with a
Township permit and approved by the
Township. The owner of such a device must
follow the manufacturer's instructions for
use and fueling. The device must be more
than 15 feet from combustible material.
However, fires in these devices must not be
used to burn trash, garden waste,
construction waste or chemicals. In most
cases fuel will be limited to dry tree limbs
of no more than 2 inches in diameter.
In all instances of open burning with a
permit, a hose or fire extinguisher must be
in the immediate area of the fire, and the
fire must be under the continuous
supervision of an adult.

permits have been obtained, which
presents a hazard or is a public nuisance
must be extinguished immediately.
Calling LPFD business numbers delays
emergency response. The Department's
main number is 610-539-5408, which is
usually answered by voicemail. As a 100%
volunteer department, members are
consistently in station only during emergency
responses, training nights and maintenance
nights. Voicemail is checked frequently, but is
not dependable for emergency calls. The
social hall number is 610-539-9084 and is
usually answered by the Hall Manager, who
provides information on hall rentals. All
callers who seem to have an emergency
situation are instructed to hang up and call
911. The delay in making two calls could be
critical in a true emergency.
Open Burning Ordinance:
What You Need to Know
911 dispatches that relate to open burning
make up a significant percentage of LPFD
responses. Residents who are contemplating
open burning should first read the
Township's open burning ordinance. The
ordinance is found at Chapter 83, Article IV
of the Lower Providence Township Code. It is
recommended that you read the entire
Article, but the most important information
is contained in Section 83-19 through Section
83-22, view it online at
http://ecode360.com/14729153.
Some of the most important points are:
Burn barrels are not permitted under the
ordinance.
All fires that are on the ground in fire pits
or rings require permits from the
Township. This includes cooking fires,
ceremonial fires and recreational fires.
The only fires that don't require a permit
are fires in manufactured fire pits or
fireplaces. Fireplaces constructed onsite

Fire Prevention Week - Oct. 9-15, 2016
Lower Providence Volunteer Fire
Company is once again partnering
with the nonprofit National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) to
observe Fire Prevention Week, Oct.
9-15, 2016.
that killed more than 250 people, left
100,000 homeless, destroyed more
than 17,400 structures and burned
more than 2,000 acres. The fire
began on October 8, but did most of
its damage on October 9.
Each year during Fire Prevention
week, volunteers from Lower
Providence Fire Company visit day
cares and schools to spread the work
about fire prevention. The week
ends with a fun- filled open house,
scheduled this year for Friday, Oct. 14
from 7 to 9 pm. at the main station,
3199 Ridge Pike, Eagleville. There will
be demonstrations, displays, and
education for all ages. It is a great
way to see the volunteer firefighters
and the equipment that protect
Lower Providence Township.
This year's Fire Prevention Week
theme, "Don't Wait, Check the Date!"
encourages everyone to know how
old their smoke alarms are and how
often they need to be replaced.
Smoke alarms should be replaced
every 10 years.
A Call for Volunteers
The Fire Department is an allvolunteer organization that has been
serving the Lower Providence
community since 1945. If you are 14
or older and interested becoming a
firefighter, fire police officer, or junior
firefighter, the Fire Department
would like to meet with you and
discuss the opportunities available.
Individuals with or without prior fire
service experience are needed and all
necessary training will be provided.
The best way to begin the application
process is to stop by the Eagleville
station at 3199 Ridge Pike around 7
pm on any Tuesday night. You can
also call 610-539-5408 and leave a
message.
Lower Providence
Fire Company
Annual Open House
To find out how old a smoke
alarm is, look at the date of
manufacture on the back of the
alarm; the alarm should be
replaced 10 years from that date.
Fire Prevention Week was
established to commemorate the
Great Chicago Fire, the 1871 tragedy
Educational and fun!

News From The Sewer Authority
Disposable Wipes Causing
Problems
Did you know that
even if wipes are
labeled "flushable" or
"disposable" they still
don't degrade in the
system? Flushing them
is like flushing a
handkerchief or other
cloth item. We are
seeing more of a
problem with wipes
being flushed and
causing issues with the
pumps. Our sewer
systems and treatment
plants were not
designed to handle wipes. They gum up the
system, clog pipes and pumps, and cost
taxpayers and residents a lot of money in
additional maintenance costs. In addition,
many homeowners have experienced
plumbing problems because of wipes, so you
may have expensive maintenance issues at
home if you flush them. If you must use
wipes, put them in the trash, not the toilet.
Paperless Billing
Receive your monthly sewer bill by email. If
you haven't already signed up with the form
that was included in your January 1, 2016
bill, go to
http://www.lowerprovidence.org/sewer.htm
to complete the form. Past due and/or shut
off notices will not be emailed. They will be
mailed to you in paper form. Emailed bill(s)
will come from "sewerbill@lptsa.org".
Website Updates
We encourage you to check the website
often for updates and call us with any
questions you may have regarding the
information that is posted. Click on the
Sewer Authority tab on the lower left side of
the home page of the Township website,
www.lowerprovidence.org.
The Sewer Authority wants our customers to
know that our employees are always
available during regular business hours by
calling 610-539-6161 to address emergency
situations. After hours emergencies, please
call 1-800-379-5713. If you should have a
backup in your outside line, contact us so
that we can verify that it is not being caused
by a blockage in our main line before you call
your plumber.
Follow these Dos and Don’ts to keep costs
down and improve the environment:
DO!
Wipe down greasy pots and pans with a
dry paper towel and dispose of it in your
kitchen scrap recycling or garbage.
Pour cooled oil, fats and grease into a can
or other container with a tight lid (coffee
can, glass jar or plastic container) and
dispose of it in the garbage.
Use baskets or strainers in sink drains to
catch food scraps and other solids – and
dispose of them in the trash.
Talk with your friends and neighbors
about the grease problem so the
community is aware of the risk.
DON’T!
x
x Do NOT pour FOG down the garbage
disposal or sink drain.
FOG
No, we’re not talking about the weather!
FOG stands for the Fats, Oils and Grease
from food preparation, packaged food and
food scraps. How do you dispose of your
FOGs? If you have been putting them down
the drain, you need to know that fats, oils
and grease stick to the insides of sewer pipes
when washed down the kitchen plumbing
system. This solidifies and can block pipes.
Clogged pipes cause sewer backups and
sewage spills on residential property and on
the street, which ultimately leads to costly
sewer backups and overflows, increased
sewer rates and public health and
environmental hazards as it washes down
storm drains and into bays, water ways and
creeks.
x Do NOT use
hot water to
wash the
grease
down the
drain.
How should I dispose of my FOG materials?
Glad you asked!

The Township's Parks and Recreation
Department wrapped up another successful
summer camp season - the program has been
serving Township families for over 20 years.

camp is designed for middle school youths in
grades 5 through 8. It was held at three sites
this summer, Arrowhead Elementary School,
Eagleville Elementary School and the
Shoemaker House on the grounds of the
Township complex.
Throughout the summer, campers enjoyed
ANGLE

wide variety of special events everything from
Carnival Day to Star Wars Day to Christmas in
July!
If you'd like more information on the summer
